ADVICE TO ADVISERS
There are few people who do not
engage in the "big sister" act at
some time. They state that theyI
dislike your posture, reprimand i
you for some slackness in your[
courtesy, or hint that you just don'tI
do things right. Their judgment
rubs you the wrong way and
friendship ties become a mild hate.
Take heed lest you yourself be such
a bit baffling to the class, but Mr.
Calkins understands it. The class
have little blue notebooks in which
they copy the main points of the
chapter, for later reference. The
entire class enjoy their work, and
they are gathering the knowledge
for practical purposes.
FRESHMAN FLASHES
Flash! Flash! Straight from the
old algebra book and freshly chalk-
ed on the board came the fresh-
men "how-much-do-you-know-test"
last Friday. The test was not half
as difficult as some of the freshmen
expected, since it was just over
the work which they had covered
the preceding week.
Last week the freshmen general
science class studied first aid. Quite
a few of them learned that the way
to cure a snake bite was not to
kill the snake.--PW
SENIOR INTERVIEW
Bill "Daredevil" Mohn, a tall,
dark, and handsome senior, is espe-

this year.
Two Sundays remain until Easter
Sunday. The theme for next Sun-
day is, "The Charge I Accept". For

sonage for its regular business and
study of the matters of the school,

nificance, entitled, "Power", by

GREXERS
Last Saturday fifteen Lisbon sen-
iors spent the day on the Cornell
campus at the annual Grex which
they provide for high school sen-
iors. During the morning an ad-
dress was presented in the chapel
by A. H. Edgerton of Wisconsin,
after which the group attended sev-
eral vocational guidance discussions
directed by various professors of
the college. A pleasant afternoon
was spent in attendance of "Io-
lanthe" at the little theatre.
ASSEMBLIES
With assembly programs scarcer
than high school parties lately, ev-
eryone was somewhat astonished
when they were ordered into the
north study hall last Thursday for
an assembly. The speaker, Pastor
A. R. Longman of Arena, Wis., was
introduced by the Reverend Ham-
ilton. Pastor A. R. Longman, a
well known Bible teacher, is con-
ducting a series of Bible studies i
this week at the Federated church; i
he is illustrating the messages with
the use of large charts and stereop-
ticon views. One of these charts,
illustrating the seven ages of the
world history, was brought to
:school and furnished the main
~lheme for his talk. As was ex-
pressed afterwards by one stuclent,
"All the good speakers never talk
long enough, while the poor ones
ramble on and on." But then,
perhaps that's what makes them
such.
Another "super" assembly was
held Friday. Since it was St. Pat-
rick's Day, four senior boys, Lowell
Andreas, Gordon Rahn, Otto Kruse,
and Lee McHenry, appropriately
attired with green bow ties, con-
ducted the program. A short bi-
ography of the life of St. Patrick
was given by Lowell, followed by
group singing of several Irish songs
led by Gordon. Otto then gave a
few highlights in the history of
Ireland, followed by a free-for-all
of Irish jokes, until interrupted by
an Irish cop, portrayed very effect-
ively by Lee McHenry. Then with
"Faith and Begorryl Ye can be get-
tin' back to work!" from Mr. Calk-
ins, school studies were again re-
sumed.--EM

SENIOR NEWS
The sociology class has been
studying labor organizations and
unemployment. Perhaps we can
find out more about strikes if we
interview our own strikers when
they return.
• The English class has been study-
ing many works of Tennyson and
Browning. Many found enjoyment
in Arnold's "Sohrab and Rustum"
if not for any other reason than
its contrast with the other things
we have been reading.
The second year home economics

JUNIOR JOTS

The American history class has
been taking up current problems
this week. War seems to be the
main topic of conversation, whether
it comes from the American His-

Last year in "The Pampered Dar-
ling" Bill played the leading role.
He was also a very capable stage
manager for "Here Comes Charlie"
the Junior Class play. He partici-
pated in Boys' Glee Club during
his first two years of high school
and was also a very able cheer
leader in his sophomore and junior
years.
When he graduates, Bill would
like to take an engineering course
at some college--he hasn't decided
which--and then learn to fly. If
he doesn't do that, he thinks that
he will go into partnership with
his father to farm.
Happy landings, Bill! Perhaps we
have another Howard Hughes with
us.--PF.

Word.

near Mechanicsville, March 17, 1939
